“(LEAD) N. Korea fires new type of short-range missile off east coast: source”

SNIPPET: “SEOUL, May 29 (Yonhap) — North Korea has launched a short-range missile from its Musudan-ri rocket launch site on the country’s east coast, a South Korean government official said Friday.

“What the North has launched this time appears to be different from what it had launched (previously),” the official said. “It is a new type of a land-to-air missile,” the official said.

North Korea launched the missile, with an estimated range of 160 km, into the East Sea at around 6:12 p.m., according to the official.”
